Why a Strong GCSE in English Matters For Their Future
A high grade in English isn't just a requirement; it's a key that unlocks your child's future choices. The skills they build – from deeply analysing a quote from 'Macbeth' to structuring a compelling essay – are exactly what top A-Level courses and universities like UEA look for. It's this foundation that gives them the confidence and ability to succeed in their further education and beyond. In fact, we see 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with many GCSE students improving by two.

Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to get into One Sixth Form College in Ipswich. Can a tutor help them secure the right GCSE English grade?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for their GCSEs with specific college entry requirements in mind. They can focus on the exact skills your child needs to strengthen, from essay writing to textual analysis, to help them feel confident and prepared to achieve the grades they need.
How can an English tutor support my child's goal of studying A-Levels at West Suffolk College?
A great tutor can build a plan that bridges the gap between your child's current level and the standard required for competitive A-Level courses. By focusing on core English skills and building academic confidence, they can help your child not only meet the entry requirements but also develop the foundation needed to thrive once they get there.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can start by browsing profiles, where you'll find tutors' experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer an introductory chat so you can see if their teaching style is a good fit for your child before booking a lesson. It’s all about finding someone your child connects with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How much do online English tutors cost in Stowmarket?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has everything your child needs, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring help my child with their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one support from a patient and encouraging tutor helps your child feel safe to ask questions and make mistakes. This often leads to a big boost in their self-belief, which they take back into the school classroom.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session a week works well, but you can arrange a schedule that suits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your chosen tutor.
What happens if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life can be busy, we get it. If you need to change a lesson time, you can do so directly with your tutor. Our platform makes it easy to communicate and manage your schedule together.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can find a tutor and start very quickly, often within a day or two. Simply browse our tutors, send a message to the one you think is a good fit, and arrange your first session at a time that works for you both.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have experts for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, try coding, or even learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for it here.
